Mobile Police have arrested a 18-year-old who they've identified as the final suspect in an ongoing investigation involving stolen guns and a stolen vehicle.

A warrant for the arrest of 18-year-old Andrew Kossick was issued following an incident on February 1, where two other suspects and a juvenile were arrested by police.

In the encounter, officers attempted to pull over a 2017 Honda Pilot after realizing the vehicle had been reported stolen from a home on the 400 block of Pine Court on the night of January 30.

The members of the vehicle tried to evade officers, causing a short pursuit. The suspects inside wrecked the vehicle. Along with the unidentified juvenile, officers were able to arrest 19-year-old Christopher Wyatt and 18-year-old Daniel Barrani.

The third suspect, identified at the time to be Kossick, was able to flee the scene.

In the investigation, several stolen firearms were found in the stolen vehicle and at a home of one of the suspects.

According to Mobile Metro Jail records, Kossick was located by authorities and arrested late Thursday evening.

Kossick has been charged with eight counts of unlawful breaking and entering, first-degree receiving stolen property, two counts of third-degree receiving stolen property and three counts of third-degree burglary.

Upon their arrests, Wyatt was charged with three counts of third-degree burgalry, three counts of third-degree receiving stolen property and one count of first-degree receiving stolen property and Barrani was charged with five counts of receiving stolen property.

The juvenile arrested in the crime was charged with three counts fo burglary and eight counts of breaking into a vehicle.

During a press conference, following the initial arrests, Mobile Police Chief Lawrence Battiste reminded the public of firearm safety procedures, pointing to the circulation of weapons on the streets which originate from unlocked vehicles.

"I often hear people say, 'Well, if they lock my door, they are going to bust the window,'" Battiste said, noting a mentality on gun safety he disagrees with.

"But if they bust the window, there is an opportunity for us to make an apprehension. In most cases, an alarm might go off and that alarm will help us prevent some of these (breaking and enterings) from occurring," Battiste said, in response to those who are apprehensive to lock their cars.

Battiste also noted that Kossick had a previous arrest in which he was alleged to have broken into a police vehicle, taking weapons from inside.

"At that time, that vehicle was actually locked," he said.

According to officials, a total of 1,158 guns were reported stolen from January to November 2017, with only 245 of those guns recovered. Battiste warns that trends toward a majority of guns stolen remaining in the streets of Mobile, with the potential of young people and potential criminals trading them.
